When Sunny Dae--self-proclaimed total nerd--meets Cirrus Soh, he can't believe how cool and confident she is. So when Cirrus mistakes Sunny's older brother Gray's bedroom--with its electric guitars and rock posters--for Sunny's own, he sort of, kind of, accidentally winds up telling her he's the front man of a rock band.

Now there's only one thing to do: Fake it till you make it.

Remember That My Hero Academia Teaser We Thought Was a Movie? It’s Actually a Movie!

It should be noted (kinda hilariously) that Horikoshi, at one point, said that the second movie would be the last one. According to a comment he made in the latest volume of Shonen Jump, he's well aware of what he said and, well, things change right?

Super Nintendo World Is Happening and Ready to End Friendships With Real Life Mario Kart

The fact that Bowser's castle has been meticulously recreated speaks to my Mario fangirl heart. They could've easily left it at interactive karts, but the fact that you get to walk into Bowser's lair, see the various Mario Kart cup trophies, and immerse yourself in the world in real life and in the game is ridiculously cool.

His Dark Materials, “Theft”: What Kind of Journey Is Mrs. Coulter on, Anyway?

Mrs. Coulter on HBO's His Dark Materials.

While Mary Malone got closer to a scientific breakthrough, Will was drawn once again to the Torre degli Angeli, and Lyra took in a Paddington matinee, Mrs. Coulter and Lee Scoresby faced off on HBO's His Dark Materials—and the Big Bad actually did a good! But if this is supposed to be some kind of redemption arc for Lyra’s evil mother, take that away from me. I don’t want it!

The Romcom Tropes in Yuri!!! on Ice (and Why I Love Them So)

Yuri and Victor gaze into each other's eyes in Yuri!!! on Ice.

When it comes to queer representation, we often need undeniable proof so viewers can't ignore what's happening on the screen, because trust me, there are folks out there who will deny the gay away, but Yuri!!! on Ice isn't exactly subtle when it comes to the feelings between our two leads. It's not the kiss that solidifies their love; it's every single second they interact with each other.
